Outlaw

Mai Qiuyan has always been a neat person.

He speaks and acts vigorously and resolutely, never leaving a mark.

This is true even when faced with matters of life and death.

Today, it turned out to be ink stains. He hesitated when he spoke, and hesitated several times, which was really abnormal.

Xiao Beichen realized something was not right: "It doesn't matter, just tell me what you have to say."

Mai Qiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Xiao, we need to go to work somewhere else. It's at my Mai's house."

Xiao Beichen said: "Where is Zhenwu Mansion? What happened?"

Mai Qiuyan still has some ink marks: "The situation in Zhenwu Mansion is not very good. My father prepared a ceremony for you to take office at Mai's house, and invited some friends. As well as the big guys in Jinling. You will know after you go there."

After saying a few words, Mai Qiuyan took the lead and walked out of the door.

When Xiao Beichen was about to say something, Mu Ziyan suddenly said: "Beichen, since General Mai has something to hide. Forget it, let's get in the car first. Talk as we walk."

Xiao Beichen then gave up and got into the car.

Mai Qiuyan was driving, her hands and feet were trembling, and her face was pale.

She kept silent, and Xiao Beichen didn't ask any more questions. He simply sat in the back seat and looked at the busy traffic outside the window.

It was now ten minutes in the morning, during the rush hour for work, and the road was very congested and full of traffic. On both sides of the neat urban road interface, there are tall buildings everywhere, and countless young men and women in suits and leather shoes are crowding around to go to work.

This kind of atmosphere is inspiring.

Jinling is very prosperous, far better than Suzhou and Zhonghai.

It is worthy of being the first city in Pingjiang Province.

The urban construction alone is extremely shocking.

About an hour and a half later. Mai Qiuyan drove to the suburbs, outside a very old house.

This house is very dilapidated, probably a hundred years old.

It was made of red bricks, but the load-bearing columns were not poured. After years of wind and frost, they have become crooked, as if they will fall down at any time.

At the door of the house, there is a red banner with a line of large characters written on it: Warmly welcome Xiao Beichen to take office as the first elder of the Pingjiang Town Wufu!

There was a red carpet on the ground at the entrance.

On both sides of the carpet, there were more than twenty men wearing Zhenwu Mansion uniforms. Although these men were tall and powerful, their clothes were very shabby and they had obvious scars on their bodies. All of them looked gloomy and had a look of depression on their brows.

Xiao Beichen was stunned.

Is this the inauguration ceremony for the first elder of the Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion?

Even the most rubbish Zhonghai Zhenwu Academy is n times more impressive than this, right?

Is this the inauguration ceremony for the highest martial arts official in a province?

This is in sharp contrast to Xiao Beichen's imagined consciousness of taking office.

The strong visual impact was like a knife poking Xiao Beichen's eyes.

Xiao Beichen frowned: "What kind of place is this?"

Mai Qiuyan said: "This is the ancestral home of our Mai family. It was here that my grandfather started his career and participated in the Battle of Daxia. Because of his great contributions, he was finally named the first elder of the Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion. My grandfather After his death, my father Mai Yan took over the position of First Elder due to his outstanding performance."

At that moment, an old man came out of the yard.

Wearing a cane, limping and hobbling.

His whole body was covered in scars and his clothes were stained with blood.

It’s Maiyan!

In just a few days, Mai Yan lost a lot of weight, leaving almost only a layer of skin and bones.

After seeing Xiao Beichen, Mai Yan's fatigue immediately disappeared and he was full of energy. Limping, he walked quickly to Xiao Beichen: "Mr. Xiao, you are finally here! We in Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion are always looking forward to your arrival."

Pfft!

He knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "What happened in Blackpool Village was an old mistake. Please forgive me, sir!"

Xiao Beichen looked a little moved when he saw it.

He knelt down and helped Mai Yan up: "Mr. Mai, those are all trivial matters. Not worth mentioning. We haven't seen each other for just a few days, how come you are so thin?"

Mai Yan smiled helplessly: "Sir, please come inside. I will tell you slowly."

Entering the hall of the ancient house, Mai Qiuyan enthusiastically made tea for Xiao Beichen and the others. Mai Yan was sitting next to him. He was in severe pain and his back became a little rickety.

He was obviously seriously injured and was enduring the pain.

Mu Ziyan saw this and took the initiative to take over Mai Qiuyan's task of making tea. She said softly: "Mr. Mai is not in good health. You can take care of him."

Mai Qiuyan glanced at Mu Ziyan gratefully, then put down the tea set, walked over to Mai Yan, and patted his back gently.

Xiao Beichen took the initiative to pour a cup of tea, put a pill in it, dissolved it and handed it to Mai Yan.

After just one sip, Mai Yan felt refreshed and much more comfortable. He slowly said, "I feel sorry for this matter, sir. Qiu Yan should have told you about my situation before." Passed."

Xiao Beichen nodded: "I am constrained by Brother Tian on the inside, and I am ignored by the Wushu Federation on the outside. The Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion exists in name only and has gradually become a laughing stock."

Mai Yan looked ashamed: "Hey, the last time I secretly took the Yin Yang, the Two Elders and the Four King Kongs south to stop the ghost cultivation shrine, I already offended Brother Tian. Moreover, after Brother Tian knew that I was going south, he gave me a secret order - let me kill him. I killed you. I didn’t do that...I was beaten severely when I came back.”

Mai Qiuyan's eyes were red and he added: "As soon as my father came back, he was hung up in the main square of Zhenwu Mansion by Brother Tian's people. He publicly scolded him for his sins and whipped him three times in front of everyone in Zhenwu Mansion. One hundred and sixty-eight blows. More than a dozen bones and muscles were broken!"

dead!

Xiao Beichen's pupils shrank and he was moved.

This is too stupid!

The leader of the dignified Zhenwu Mansion, the number one man in charge of the martial arts order in a large province.

Just because he went south to block the Shura Shrine, because he didn't follow Brother Tian's order to kill Xiao Beichen... and ended up being publicly hung in Zhenwufu Square and whipped?

Brother Tian, ​​is this person so arrogant? !

Xiao Beichen did not interrupt, but quietly waited for Mai Yan's next words.

"What a shame. I, the dignified first elder of the Zhenwu Mansion, just did something I thought I should do, and was beaten up. That's all. After all, in the eyes of everyone in the Zhenwu Mansion, I It was always just a joke, I have long been used to it. The most outrageous thing is what happened next." Mai Yan seemed to have remembered something terrible, his face turned pale and his voice became hoarse.

"I announced my resignation and elected Mr. Xiao as the first elder of the Zhenwu Mansion... As a result... Brother Tian was furious! He publicly abolished my position as the great elder. He also cut off all my energy channels. He even set up a trap in the Zhenwu Mansion Square. In the execution ground, I will be executed publicly!”

Hearing this, Xiao Beichen couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Mai Yan was the number one elder of the Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion designated by Daxia. He was beaten severely by Brother Tian, ​​but he dared to be publicly executed?

so crazy?

Brother Tian! !

Xiao Beichen suppressed the violent emotions in his heart: "What happened next?"

Cough!

Mai Yan suddenly coughed violently, and his attempts to speak several times were interrupted by coughing.

Mai Qiuyan couldn't stand it anymore and answered on his behalf: "The new second elder Li Guang and the third elder Zhang Chiyue of Zhenwu Mansion are both from Brother Tian. When Brother Tian gave the order, the two elders Li Guang and Zhang Chiyue immediately scolded me. For my father’s crimes, my father will be publicly beheaded in Zhenwufu Square.”

"I brought the army of the Governor's Office to put pressure, but Rong Jiang came forward to stop it, and I was forced to withdraw the army."

"Later... they took away the Pingjiang Order from my father. Together with the two elders of Yin and Yang and the Four King Kongs who risked their lives to save me, they took my father away."

‘However, the Four Great Vajras and the Yin and Yang Elders... died unfortunately! ’

At the end, Mai Qiuyan opened the side door curtain with tears in her eyes.

Six bodies lay inside.

The Four Great Vajra, Yin and Yang!

Xiao Beichen leaned over and looked at the four miserable corpses.

The four great Vajras were killed by the same sword light.

Kill the Four King Kongs with one sword!

Great!

You know, the four Vajras working together can barely resist the strong man who has just entered the nine chakras. Was he actually killed with a sword? !

The injuries of the Yin and Yang elders were also caused by a sword piercing through both of them.

The two elders of Yin and Yang, who claimed that their combined attack technique could fight against the Holy Realm, were actually killed by one sword.

The strength of the sword holder is really shocking.

Xiao Beichen frowned when he saw it: "Who did it?"

Mai Qiuyan said: "I have never seen this person before. It is said that he is the top boss of Jintai Maoshan, called Taoist Baimei. His strength is second only to the three giants of Jintai Maoshan. After deposing my father, Brother Tian immediately appointed Taoist Baimei. The grand elder. Today, a grand ceremony will be held publicly for Baimei Taoist in Zhenwu Mansion. Countless big shots have been invited to support him, and the scene is particularly grand. Compared with the desolation here, it is a world of difference. "

Taoist Priest Baimei? !

After a long time, Xiao Beichen stood up and sighed: "No matter what the purpose of the two elders of Yin and Yang and the four kings, they were all heroes who used their lives to fight against the ghost sword gods at Heimu Cliff. Unexpectedly, they did not die at the hands of the enemy. On the other hand, he was killed by his compatriots. What a huge irony."

Xiao Beichen has never been a sentimental person, but today he felt an unspeakable sadness.

Pfft!

Mai Yan suddenly knelt on the ground and burst into tears: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry. I originally wanted to use the rest of my life to hold a grand induction ceremony for you. No, I am weak. I can't even do such a small thing. good!"

"Today, the Pingjiang Order, which symbolizes the seal of power of the Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion, is gone. My position as the Grand Senator is also gone. I really don't know how to let Mr. take the position of the Grand Senator of the Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion."

"Now I only have more than [-] disciples from Zhenwu House left. They are warriors trained by my Mai family..."

At this moment, Mai Yan was crying like a child.

Snapped!

Xiao Beichen knelt down and stroked Mai Yan's shoulder tightly: "Mr. Mai, in fact, you don't have to bear many things alone. You could have told me earlier."

Mai Yan cried even louder: "I just want to organize a decent inauguration ceremony for you. Before you become the Grand Elder, you do not need to be responsible for the order of Pingjiang Martial Arts, and you should not be responsible. I We cannot let you take on responsibilities that do not belong to you.”

"What's more, if I can't even hold a decent inauguration ceremony, I will feel that I am useless as a great elder... I will feel that the already dilapidated Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion is not worthy of welcoming a new man like Mr. Xiao. host!"

Xiao Beichen looked a little touched when he saw it.

Afterwards, Xiao Beichen slowly stood up, returned to his position, lit a cigarette, and looked at the more than [-] seriously injured disciples in the audience.

The dignified Pingjiang Zhenwu Mansion was in such a state of despair.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slammed the table: "Mr. Mai, I, Xiao Beichen, have never been a person who cares about ostentation. I will definitely honor what I promised you in Pingnan!"

"So what if there is no induction ceremony? As long as I, Xiao Beichen, am willing, I will be the new master of Pingjiang Martial Arts."

"I promised, get up!"

Mai Yan looked at Xiao Beichen in disbelief: "Seriously? But... there is nothing in Zhenwu Mansion now..."

Xiao Beichen said: "With me, Xiao Beichen, that's enough."

Mai Yan's eyes suddenly turned red and he apologized profusely: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry...for letting you take over such a mess. If you feel forced, forget it..."

Xiao Beichen took a puff of cigarette: "Mr. Mai, this matter has nothing to do with you. Ever since I left Zhonghai, I have decided on the Northern Expedition. The so-called Northern Expedition means that the place I have walked through will ultimately be in my hands. No matter who is in charge Pingjiang Martial Arts will eventually either surrender to me or be killed by me. Therefore, you don’t have to blame yourself."

"Time is running out. Instead of struggling here, why not get up and discuss countermeasures with me."

After hearing this, Mai Yan stood up and his face regained some vitality: "Now the Zhenwu Mansion is gone, and even the righteousness is gone. How do you plan to proceed, sir?"

Xiao Beichen said: "I, Xiao Beichen, have a righteous status. Brother Tian wants to support Taoist Baimei to ascend to power. If I don't agree, they won't be able to do it."

"At noon today, just follow me to the Zhenwu Mansion headquarters and get everything back."

The voice was not loud, but it contained an iron will.

It was as if all the heroes in the world were nothing in front of Xiao Beichen.

"Mr. Mai, come here and I'll heal your injuries. Once you recover, we'll set off immediately!" Once Xiao Beichen made up his mind, he stopped talking nonsense and treated Mai Yan's injuries on the spot.

From the outside, Mai Yan's injury was not particularly serious.

But after Xiao Beichen checked his pulse at close range, he was horrified to find...Mai Yan's internal injuries were serious.

In addition to a few bones and tendons being shattered, all the internal organs were severely damaged.

This is nothing to Xiao Beichen.

Use the silver needle to restore it.

What really embarrassed Xiao Beichen was that there was actually a Yin Talisman in Mai Lao's body.

It tightly circled the heart of Mai Lao's body.

Xiao Beichen frowned when he saw it: "I really didn't expect that the other party would be so cruel. It's still a very difficult Yin Talisman power. However, I am also a Yin Talisman master."

hum!

Raising his hand, the power of a Yin Talisman was injected into Mai Lao's body, trying to dissolve the black power of the Yin Talisman.

But just when he came into contact with that black power.

The black power actually exploded, and finally, it instantly filled all the limbs and bones.

not good!

The power of this black Yin Talisman is extraordinary, once it spreads. Mai Yan will definitely die.

boom!

Xiao Beichen no longer hid, the power of the Rolling Yin Talisman exploded, and he shot with all his strength.

Rao was able to barely control the spread of the Yin Talisman's power.

But Xiao Beichen couldn't relax.

Once there is any slack, the power of the Yin Talisman will spread rapidly, directly killing Mr. Mai.

All of a sudden, the situation was deadlocked.

Xiao Beichen needed to maintain his peak posture, and he couldn't tell the difference in his mind.

At this moment, there was a burst of sinister laughter outside the gate.

"Gee, Brother Tian is indeed right. Xiao Beichen, you are also a Yin Talisman Master, and you are very good at it."

An old woman in a black suit walked in slowly.

Zhang Chiyue!

Swish swish!

Behind them, a large number of people appeared.

There was a large area of ​​darkness, and everyone was powerful and armed with long knives. This ancient house was completely surrounded.

A man wearing a black Chinese tunic suit came over domineeringly: "Mr. Mai, long time no see."

Mai Yan was shocked: "Li Guang, Zhang Chiyue. You guys came together..."

Zhang Chiyue is the new third elder appointed by Brother Tian.

Li Guang is the second elder appointed by Brother Tian.

It was these two men who had previously dragged Mai Yan to the execution ground in Zhenwufu Square, intending to publicly kill Mai Yan.

Li Guang had a cigar in his mouth and started smoking it happily: "Why did I come? Of course it is to kill Xiao Beichen."

Mai Yan took a breath: "You actually used me as bait?"

Ha ha!

Li Guang said with a smile: "If not, how could the two elders of Yin and Yang and the four kings take you away? You are too naive. Let me tell you the truth. From the moment you incited to give up your throne to Xiao Beichen, Brother Tian I have already sentenced you to death, and all you planned was to kill Xiao Beichen."

"Brother Tian let you go just to allow you to meet Xiao Beichen."

"Brother Tian planted the Yin Talisman Technique in your body to wait for Xiao Beichen to treat you. In order to contain Xiao Beichen's power. Conveniently, we will kill all of you snakes and rats."

"Now, all the plans have taken effect. Hahaha."

"Xiao Beichen, you are just an ant from Pingnan, and you can just live in Pingnan. How dare you come to Jinling to stir up troubles, and also want to be the grand elder of Zhenwu Palace? What a big joke! Are you worthy? !”

After speaking, Li Guangda waved his hand: "Come here, Xiao Beichen has been implicated by Brother Tian's Yin Fu technique at this moment. It is impossible for him to stop. Once he stops, he and Mai Yan will die. At this moment, Xiao Beichen, He’s a lamb to the slaughter. Kill him for me!!”
